Alessandra Lumini is an Associate Researcher at II Faculty of Engineering of University of Bologna. She received a degree in Computer Science from the University of Bologna, Italy, on March 26th 1996. In 1998 she started her Ph.D. studies at DEIS- University of Bologna and in 2001 she received her Ph.D. degree for her work on "Image Databases". Now she is an Associate Researcher at University of Bologna. She is a member of the Biometric Systems Lab at Computer Science - Cesena. She is interested in Biometric Systems, Image Databases, Multidimensional Data Structures, Digital Image Watermarking and Image Generation.

Biometric Systems -- Biometric Systems are automated methods of verifying or recognizing the identity of a living person on the basis of some physiological characteristics, like a fingerprint or iris pattern, or some aspects of behavior, like handwriting or keystroke patterns.

Information Systems -- Information System is a collection of resources and methodologies for retrieving, managing and exchanging informations. Database systems are a tool for the computer-aided management of large, formatted collections of data.
"Knowledge is of two kinds: we know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it."

Image Generation -- Pindar is an application to computer image generation by Petri Nets. The basic idea is to translate the evolution of a Petri Net into a graphic output The resulting images exhibit a certain analogy with fractals.

Digital Image Watermarking -- A digital watermark is an identification code, permanently embedded into digital data, carrying information pertaining to copyright protection and data authentication

Image Database Systems -- An image database (IDB) is a system in which a large amount of image data and their related information are integratedly stored and managed.
Major objectives of an IDB are efficient storage, powerful retrieval capability, flexible data manipulation, efficient indexing.
